Judge ordered Insurrectionist Dan Caldwell held in jail, until trial (sprayed chemical at officers)

Judge has ordered US Capitol Insurrection defendant Dan Caldwell of Texas held in jail, until trial.

Trust me, his case is worth a closer look..

First of all.. this photo. (Feds say that's Caldwell attacking several officers w/ chemical spray)
...
The feds say US Capitol riot defendant Daniel Caldwell has a history of violence and isn't safe to release.

They cite a domestic violence incident, in which he's accused of slamming his wife into a table and yanking the phone from the wall, when she tried to call 9-1-1
...
Oh... and prosecutors say Caldwell grew violent during a DUI stop in 2013.

They say when officers tried to draw blood, Caldwell needed to be restrained and taken to hospital for the test

At the hospital, feds say Caldwell fought so hard he *broke* the hospital bed

Hopefully a judge will do the right thing and put him in jail for a long time after conviction.

It’s time these people face the appropriate time for the crime they committed.

BUILD STUPENDOUS, GREAT ACCOMMODATIONS ON THE MOON and then send ALL GOP politicians (and regular uglies) to the moon. They will have food etc --- whatever they need.

ONE WAY TRIP. This is my FANTASY.

They can never hurt the world again.

We need the moon for science and future solar system exploration.

I would suggest a better destination would be Venus.....or Mercury.

Speaking for myself, every report where an insurrectionists who are brought up on charges, are not released while awaiting trial.

Most seem to have been released.

I couldn't make out which judge/court but I'm very glad to see the outcome of this hearing.

In 1984, she was appointed as Judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia by Reagan. In 1997, she was elevated to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by Clinton.

According to the docket for the case, Caldwell's attorney filed a motion to withdraw from the case on Friday past. It was denied, but it appears the reason was technical in nature (failure to give proper notice to various parties), so he can apply again. (No reason was revealed for the request.) Curiously, he is an attorney from Texas (where the defendant is from) who entered the case in late March.

I'm glad it was the Superior Court in DC.

It seems like a number of related cases heard in Texas were treated like nothing burgers. I recall hearing a few initial cases following initial arrests were released on their arraignments, for incredibly privileged and frivolous reasons. Certainly gave the appearance of Judges sympathetic to insurrectionists.

One judge in San Diego released or dismissed (can't remember which action now) a case against an insurrectionists which involved automatic assault weapons charges. The Judge reasoned that an assault weapon is no more dangerous than a jack knife.

Seriously. These people are quite violent & do not respect authority or societal norms.

Needs to live out life in a steel cage. 👍

with TFG being the head coordinator.
